    I correct that there was no Nobel of Indian origin . Jagdish was not considered for Nobel for reasons unknown but he discovered and established with an instrument invented by him that recorded movements of tissues in the plant that calibrated in terms of emotion.

    I see that my tomatoes stopped growing. Any tips to promote growth and encourage ripening?

    Check the roots. Are they ok or rot. If rot think how to prevent that. My friend keeps small onions to grow along with tomato in pot to prevent insects from damaging the roots.
    Regards.
    God bless.

    Unable to make out the status fro the image above. It is not clear whether leaves are wilting.
    2. I guess it could be watering problem. Water Regularly. Proper watering is a big key to success for growing tomatoes in pots. Keep soil consistently moist, but not saturated.

    3. Irregular watering or soil getting dried up soon due to summer heat - results blossom end rot. No flowering.
    4. If she has grown to a height of one to two feet from top of soil she needs watering.
    Check for more tips in google using specific search words.
    Thanks and Regards.

    Thank you for the detailed review. I shall be more careful with watering routine and check on the roots. I am doubting if it is some kind of pest infestation.
